Hey Sal, I would join up if It would be allowable to finish up a R/R dio I've been working on and off with for a long long time, like 14 years. The building wall and roofs are done but not finished, heck nothing is finished. Would have a gondola/D.M.L., a modified flat bed with crane and Trumps new WR 360 C12 locomotive which hasn't been started. Heck, I don't even have the new track layed on yet. This could inspire me to finish this beast up if allowed.

Hey Bob, sounds like you will be doing quite a bit of work and building a kit that hasn't been started yet so I say welcome aboard, glad to have ya us. That Trump loco is a cool looking kit that I have in my want list. If you have any photos of what you have stared post them up to give some people some inspiration

You need to specify whether partial builds will be accepted and whether builds from other campaigns will be allowed.

Oh, sorry bout that there Gary.
Yes, figures and vehicles from other campaigns will be allowed as long as they are not the focal point of your build. So the Tiger that was built for the Tiger Campaign can be mounted onto that flat transport car



Hope that helps clear things up.
Also I tried to post over on the Railroad Modeling side of KitMakers Network and it would not let me sign in

Sal, I can't log into it either. Rather what happens is that it logs me out as soon as I log in.

Sal,
Before I sign up I need to tell you my situation and see if it is okay to participate.
I'm currently building the trumpeter German Armored Train. I have started all 13 railcars and engine. They need extensive painting and weathering. Also I have to go back and modify the armored personnel passageways between the cars. So I have already started the project, but will be able to finish it before the deadline.
Can I still participate?
Regards,
Tom Moon

WOW Tom, 13 different railcars and an engine. I suppose that you haven't started on the station or tracks that this train is going to pass through. Sounds like you still have a lot of work to do. Post up some pictures of what you have done, it will give the guys some inspiration and will see what they say, but as of the way it sounds I would say sign up and join the party

Sal,
I have posted 4 photos in my gallery.
Take a look and let me know if you still think I can participate.

Holy cow, Tom! And I thought I´m crazy after buying the other half of BP42 armored train but you got the whole train! Any plans, how you transport and display that train?

I'm planning to have a display board about 18 inches wide and about 15 feet long. This will be in 4 sections. They will mate together using dowel pins and hidden latches. The big problem will be hiding the section seams where they join together. I have two diaroma possiblities. 1. Inspection by high ranking officers. A plain scene with limited background and a group of officers making an inspection tour of the freshly painted train. (translation - Not much weathering) 2. A country side scene with the train in motion with only a fence/tree line in the background. Not much pizazz, few figures, but easy to put together.
